I've been warning about the MCB, and indeed Muslim's saying one thing in public and the opposite in private, for years now. Some in the government and media are starting to question the MCB. After 9/11 and 7/7, Madrid, Bali, etc. etc., they still don't get the seriousness or the true aims of these people.

Denis MacShane MP, a former Foreign Office minister, picks up on something the MCB said and have been saying for years now, but fails to grasp the significance.

"Leaving to one side the concept of "Muslim waters" and which "Nation" is having its sovereignty violated..."

No, let's not leave that "to one side" for that is the heart of the matter. These people still don't get it.

When terrorists failed in their attempt to bomb the World Trade Center in 1993, they vowed they would return and finish the job. Clinton and the Democrats didn't listen. Muslims living in Britain having been calling for UK troops to be killed and have sent British Muslims overseas to do just that. Yet, the government not only tolerates this, but even pays for the privilege.

"Dunlap and a man claiming to be a lawyer showed The Post about 90 seconds of 43-minute tape, saying it was legally obtained and that Ashley was aware she was being filmed. The Post refused to pay for the video.

The video, which the shooter initially hoped to sell for $2 million before scaling back his price to $400,000, shows a 20-something woman with light skin and long brown hair taking a red straw from her mouth, bending over a desk, inserting the straw into her nostril and snorting lines of white powder. "

The Post goes on to say at one point the woman even waves at the camera. And this really sent my BS meter off.

"The lawyers said the shooter used a camera with a hard-disc drive that he later destroyed, drilling into the device and tossing it into a lake. "

Why would you want to destroy the evidence?

Radar.com, who also claims to have viewed the tape, says this:

"The man hands her a rolled-up dollar bill and she proceeds to walk a few steps to a table where the cocaine is cut. She pulls her hair back, bends down and snorts a line."

And

"The tape was made without her knowledge. It is being shopped for $250,000. "

Radar also notes the story is in a major British newspaper but I couldn't find it.

Perhaps the two reporters saw different tapes or different parts of the same tape.

As I said, I have no way of knowing if this is true and some red flags went up for me, but we'll see.

""Max is an electric mix of flair and perspicuity. I first worked with him at Al Jazeera, and undoubtedly he provided some of the most thought-provoking broadcast content in a truly original way. - Paul Gibbs, Director of Programmes, BBC World"

"The programme, run by the Association of Chief Police Officers, asks teachers, parents and other community figures to be vigilant for signs that may indicate an attraction to extreme views or susceptibility to being "groomed" by radicalisers. Sir Norman, whose force covers the area in which all four 7 July 2005 bombers grew up, said: "What will often manifest itself is what might be regarded as racism and the adoption of bad attitudes towards 'the West'."

When Bush was in the BBC never filed a report about Iraq or Afghanistan without criticizing America. Now that Obama's in charge, war is great. Where are all the anti war protesters? Where's George Galloway and the Stop the War Coalition?

The SWC plan to demonstrate at the G20 meeting, but Afghanistan is a mere footnote.

Funny how the Guardian left all that out. What's also interesting, is how the Guardian reports but never questions this part:

"The 30-year-old Ethiopian described how he was first seized at Karachi airport, in Pakistan, in April 2002, while travelling with a false passport. He was hung for a week by a leather strap around his wrists. He could only just stand, he said.

The torture stopped when British interrogators came, he said. He said a person called John told him: "I'll see what we can do with the Americans."

So the Pakistanis were "torturing" him to find out why he was traveling on a false passport and this stop when the British arrived.

Why was he traveling on a false passport? What about him prompted the Pakistanis to call in the British? Why is the Guardian so willing to believe him?

The Guardian report this:

"From Morocco he was taken to Kabul's notorious CIA prison, where, he says, he was held in darkness for weeks on end. He says that was the worst time in his seven years in US captivity. "There were loudspeakers in the cell, pumping out what felt like about 160 watts, a deafening volume, non-stop, 24 hours a day," he said this month."

I'm afraid the reporter is too late though. Thanks to the left wing media, like the Guardian and the BBC, world opinion has already been poisoned against Israel. Read the comments and you'll see that, despite presenting proof that the Palestinians regularly lie and fabricate "atrocities", Guardian readers aren't interested in the truth. Sadly, neither is much of the rest of the world.

This is one reason the world is so screwed up today. Our universities were long ago infested with Communists, Islamists and far left radicals who are brainwashing our kids. Ditto the US as seen in Ward Churchill and the terrorist William Ayers. At least Churchill got fired while the terrorist Ayers still teaches.

Remember as you read, this guy is a Professor at a London university.

"The university professor masterminding mayhem at the G20 summit in London was suspended from his job yesterday.

The dramatic move came after anarchist Chris Knight threatened violence against the police in a series of inflammatory declarations. "

"Anarchist" is he?

"The campaign is being plotted from his home in a suburban South London street known locally as ' Millionaire's Row,' where properties sell for up to £1.3million. "

Me thinks he doth protest too much. But now I'm confused.

"Knight, who describes himself as a revolutionary communist, is one of five children of a man who gave up teaching to become a self-sufficient farmer in the West Country. "

"British citizens will provide their own layer of counter-terrorist security by being encouraged to confront people who "threaten democracy" while more shop, hotel and service industry staff will be trained to deal with terrorist threats under the government's new terrorism strategy."

"Jon Cannon, a professor of environmental law at the University of Virginia, says he is withdrawing as the nominee for deputy EPA administrator because of scrutiny surrounding the America's Clean Water Foundation. Cannon once served on the now-defunct organization's board of directors.

The EPA's inspector general's concluded in 2007 that the foundation mismanaged $25 million in EPA grants."

"President Obama’s long-awaited plan to revive the banks could work if certain assumptions about the future are right. But there is not much, beyond faith, to believe those assumptions will pan out — and even if there were, it is hard to see how the plan is the best way to go."

All Obama ever did was be a "community organizer" and now the NYT is surprised to find he can't develop a plan to save the economy.

""Later in the afternoon, the President and the First Lady will attend a reception with the National Newspaper Publisher Association in the State Dining Room, where they will be presented the Newsmaker of the Year award. This event is closed press."

Buyers remorse Ms. Dowd. You and all the other left wing media outlets that annointed Obama without even a basic vetting, are getting exactly what you deserve. Sadly, thanks to all of you, the whole world is hurting and its going to get worse.

Revealing that a BBC reporter was the only Westerner allowed to attend - very revealing.

"At a weekend meeting in Istanbul, 200 religious scholars and clerics met senior Hamas officials to plot a new jihad centred on Gaza."

Oh, the name of the conference? "Global Anti-Aggression Campaign"

This too is revealing.

"In closed meetings after sessions delegates focussed on the creation of a "third Jihadist front" - the first two being Afghanistan and Iraq. The intensity of the Israeli attack had "awakened all Muslims," Mr Awajy claimed. "

Well, they've lost one, losing another and will probably lose the third.

And there's this:

Mohammed Nazzal, a senior Hamas leader based in Damascus, challenged Arab governments to "open their borders and allow the fighters to come."

Remember how the left are always blaming Israel for closing their border with Gaza? The left wing media rarely mention Egypt closed its borders at the same time as Israel for the very same reason - to stop Palestinian terrorists. So it would seem these jihadists are not as united as they would have us believe.

Notice how in every article about Gaza the BBC insert this boilerplate:

"The 23 days of bombardment of Gaza, in which some 1,300 people, many of them civilians and nearly 300 of them children, are believed to have died..."

Yes, thanks to the BBC, a lot of people do believe those numbers even though the evidence shows the numbers to be far lower and mostly Hamas terrorists.

Also notice how the BBC are always cheerleaders for Palestinian terrorists.

"More importantly, this conference represented something of a coup for Hamas. They were promised weapons, money and fighters. "

"Egyptian security forces blocked two Hamas officials on Tuesday from entering the Islamist-run Gaza Strip with night-vision goggles and around $900,000 in cash, security and customs sources said."

But that's not how the BBC predicted this would go down.

"The question remains whether such rhetoric can or will be translated into action. Israel keeps a tight blockade on the Gaza Strip, where Hamas exercises de facto control, and Israel's other borders are also heavily guarded. "

Again, Israel is the bad guy here even though Egypt too is blockading Gaza to stop the Palestinian terrorists.

"In this endeavor, they recruited—or were recruited by—Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, who in turn tried to enlist the support of other Latin American leaders, starting with Leonel Fernández of the Dominican Republic, who refused to get involved."

And here's an eye opener.

"Their reasons for wishing to unseat Rául were mainly turf and power, but they also feared that the leader was beginning to feel threatened by the reaction of the Cuban people to excessive economic and social deprivation, and after his brother's demise would be unable to control the flow of events."

But hey, according to the left wing media, led by the far left BBC, Cuba is a paradise.

"Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama. "

Remember in his inagural address Obama wanted to get away from partisan politics? Like all of his other promises, you can forget that.

"In promoting its agenda, the White House is using some rougher tactics.

Even as Obama positions himself as a post-partisan leader who wants to cooperate with Republicans, his White House is operating in a more combative fashion, and it has been consulting with allied groups aiming to marginalize the Republican Party leadership.

Asked Monday about a weekend TV appearance by former Vice President Dick Cheney, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, "Well, I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy, so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal."

Name calling, rougher tactics, more comative and a vast left wing conspiracy, the Democrats are sounding more like Nazis everyday. All those morons who voted for Obama are getting exactly what they deserve.

"Many of Mr. Obama’s advisers are also urging him to sustain orders issued last summer by President George W. Bush to continue Predator drone attacks against a wider range of targets in the tribal areas. They also are recommending preserving the option to conduct cross-border ground actions, using C.I.A. and Special Operations commandos, as was done in September. Mr. Bush’s orders also named as targets a wide variety of insurgents seeking to topple Pakistan’s government. Mr. Obama has said little in public about how broadly he wants to pursue those groups."

From rendition to secret prisons to interrogation techniques and now this, Obama is pursuing the same course as Bush - good for him. But where's Cindy Sheehan and the other anti-war kooks? Where's the left wing media outrage?

As for transpanrency that was also promised, forget that.

"Any expansion of the war is bound to upset those in Mr. Obama’s party who worry that he is sinking further into a lengthy conflict in Afghanistan, even while reducing forces in Iraq. It is possible that the decisions about covert actions will never be publicly announced."

"Sheikh Abdul Hakim Murad is perhaps the most significant British Muslim leader around. It is too bad that so few people know about him. Now that he has launched the Cambridge Muslim College, which is designed to train "local" specialists in Islamic knowledge who are able to "celebrate their identity" as British and Muslim, he should be given his due and treated like a national asset."

High praise indeed. I'm not familiar with his work and in fact, this is the first I've heard of him. Perhaps he does good work but if this is an indication of his thinking, there may be cause for concern. Speaking of Iran's Ahmedinejad, Murad had this to say:

"God's love and generosity ensures that anyone, however unpromising, can be a saviour, at least at times. Even eccentric Iranian presidents can have a go."

So to Murad, Ahmedinejad is "eccentric" and can be a "saviour". This is the same Ahmedinejad who vows to wipe Israel off the map and exterminate all Jews.

Perhaps this explains Eteraz's love of Murad. Or could it be the fact that Murad is in fact Timothy Winter a Western convert to Islam? Leaving this aside what to make of Eteraz himself?

On bin Laden Eteraz has this to say: "That is when untutored demagogues like Bin Laden and Bakri Muhammad strike."

If only bin Laden had been trained by Murad 9/11 wouldn't have happened!

Eteraz goes on to allege Murad condemned the 9/11 Muslim terrorists.

"Murad remained true to his message after 9/11. "Terrorists are not Muslims," he wrote shortly after the attacks. His condemnation of the hijackers was immediate and loud – and he was perhaps alone among the Islamic intellegentsia in arguing that the hijackers be excommunicated."

Follow the link and read what Murad actually said.

"Why is there so much hatred of the United States, and so much yearning to poke it in the eye? Are the architects of policy sane in their certainty that America can enrage large numbers of people, but contain that rage forever through satellite technology and intrepid double-agents? Businessmen and bankers will now start to read carefully enough to discern that it is not US national interest, but the power of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, that tends to drive Washington’s policy in the world’s greatest troublespot."

Starting to see through the wolf in sheeps clothing yet? You see, 9/11 was America's fault and more particularly American Jews fault.

Eteraz goes on to note how Murad condemns attacks on Jews. Really? Here's a letter by Murad that Eteraz offers as proof of Murad's defense of Jews.

"The ongoing killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza by Israeli forces has angered us all.

However, this does not, and cannot, justify attacks on our fellow citizens of Jewish faith and background here in Britain.

Most Muslims are completely against such behaviour. However, we call on all Muslims to continue to remain vigilant against attempts to bring our own faith and community into disrepute. British Jews should not be held responsible for the actions of the Israeli government."

Apparently Israeli Jews are fair game but not British Jews. In other words, don't draw attention to us here while we're busy converting Britain to Islam.

Eteraz's love of Murad tells us a lot about Eteraz but so too do Eteraz's own words.

"Instead, quite absurdly, young Muslims are encouraged to emulate non-Muslims and rightwing hacks."

According to Eteraz it is absurd for young Muslims to emulate non-Muslims such as Barack Obama. Or is he saying that all non-Muslims are equal to "rightwing hacks".

I'm all for and end to radical Islam and Muslim terrorists. I'm all against the spread of Islam and those who use Islam as an excuse to attack Jews and blame them for all the evils of the world. And I'm always wary of Muslims bearing gifts.

"I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word "terrorism," I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur."

That make sense to you? Nah, me neither.

I love this next bit.

"SPIEGEL: This sounds quite different from what we heard from the Bush administration. How will the new anti-terror policy differ from the previous one?

Napolitano: Our policies will be guided by authoritative information. We also have assets at our disposal now that we did not have prior to 9/11. For example, we are much better able to keep track of travellers coming into the US than we were before. The third thing is to work with our international partners and allies to make sure that we are getting information and sharing information in an appropriate and real-time fashion."

She has all of that thanks to Bush and co, so how exactly does this differ from Bush's policies?

These people say these things with a straight face and they believe them. Obama and his team are making the world less safe day by day.

"He banned publication of anything that could identify the three children but said it was 'important to an understanding of the case to note that the parents are both Muslims and that both the paternal and maternal families originate from Pakistan.'

The father was told he could not appeal against the decision to place the children with non-Muslim foster parents. If they were placed with a Muslim family, it was likely their mother's family would find out where they were, the court heard."

"A convoy led by the maverick MP George Galloway carrying supplies for Gaza has been attacked in Egypt, apparently injuring several people travelling in his party.

The convoy, carrying aid worth £1 million, was pelted with stones and vandalised with anti-Hamas slogans after it stopped overnight in El-Arish, a small town around 28 miles from the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. "

Note this happend at Egypt's closed border with Gaza and not Israels. Not many people know, thanks to the left wing media, that Egypt closed its border with Gaza the same time Israel did.

Far from it: the reaction when he pulled out on Tuesday makes that clear. Whether he was the right man or not is way above my pay grade, but the failure to notice that he was a tad controversial and/or the failure to back the guy once the going got tough really does seem to be a sign of incoherence and drift at the heart of the administration. This is, after all, a key post."

Well Webb, you and your left wing media cohorts anointed Obama. Maybe if you guys had spent more time investigating Obama than trying to dig up dirt or Palin or smear McCain, we might not be in this mess.

"The most extreme manifestation of Freeman's realist ideology came out in a leaked e-mail he sent to a foreign policy Internet mailing list. Freeman wrote that his only problem with what most of us call "the Tiananmen Square Massacre" was an excess of restraint:

"[T]he truly unforgivable mistake of the Chinese authorities was the failure to intervene on a timely basis to nip the demonstrations in the bud, rather than -- as would have been both wise and efficacious -- to intervene with force when all other measures had failed to restore domestic tranquility to Beijing and other major urban centers in China. In this optic, the Politburo's response to the mob scene at 'Tian'anmen' stands as a monument to overly cautious behavior on the part of the leadership, not as an example of rash action."

Now, if the BBC had reported that, it would have ate into their Israel is the root of all evil and the Joooos control everything.

I have a friend who insists the Jews control the world. I asked him if the Jews control the BBC? No he replied. Do you still think the Jews control the world I asked? Of course he replied. I find most people who are anti Israeli suffer from the same detachment from reality.

"But yesterday, Sir Gus O'Donnell, Britain's most senior civil servant, exposed transatlantic tension when he protested that Downing Street was finding it "unbelievably difficult" to plan for next month's G20 summit in London because of problems tracking down senior figures in the US administration. "There is nobody there. You cannot believe how difficult it is," the Cabinet Secretary told a civil service conference in Gateshead. "
